"Over the year they have further developed the relationships with the national squad, the regions and Principality premiership coaches which are so vital for the development of the players and the program for the future."
"Even though everyone's immediate focus is the World Rugby Championships in Manchester at the moment, the decision to confirm these appointments helps us in looking ahead and in our planning through to 2017 in Georgia."
"We now have the continuity we need and which will also give us added confidence going into this year's competition."
"As well as constantly looking to improve the development of players, it is vitally important that we help to develop our coaches for the future, support them and show the extent of our confidence in them."
